About this activity
Itinerary
This is a typical itinerary for this product
Stop At: Uros Floating Islands, Puno, Puno Region
On Lake Titicaca, one ancient people, the Uros, live on islands made of living reeds that float around the lake. The Uros people have been living on the lake for hundreds of years—they were forced to take up residence on the floating islands when the Incas expanded onto their land. In the shadow of the Andes, on the world’s highest navigable lake, they make their living from fishing and from selling their reed handicrafts to tourists.
Duration: 1 hour 30 minutes
Stop At: Taquile Island, Puno, Puno Region
The island of Taquile is famous for its knitting and weaving. Once a Spanish colonial prison, the region is now inhabited by 3000 long-living Taquilenos.
Duration: 3 hours
